What does it mean if an experiment exhibits reproducibility? The experimental conditions are simple and do not require a lot of materials. The experimental conditions are always kept the same. The results of the experiment are always accurate. The same results are expected each time the experiment is done.
I believe that experimental reproducibility refers to an experiment can be duplicated by following the same procedure and should achieve near-exact results. A reproducible experiment would exhibit high precision.
Notice that there is a distinction between \(\text{accuracy}\) and \(\text{precision}\). Accuracy refers to the difference between a true, absolute value versus an experimental value. Whereas precision refers to the closeness of repetition of experimental values. For visual clarification, please see attachment
